Browse piano sheets by Bee Gees on Zen Virtual Piano. The Bee Gees were a musical group formed in 1958 by brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb. They sang recognisable three-part tight harmonies, with Robin’s clear vibrato lead vocals a hallmark of their earlier hits and Barry’s R&B falsetto becoming their signature sound in the mid-to-late 1970s and 1980s. The group wrote all of its own original material and also wrote and produced several major hits for other artists. “I Started a Joke” shows that collaboration at work. Robin Gibb wrote it mainly, with help from Barry and Maurice on the bridge, and the Bee Gees produced it with Robert Stigwood. It was the last song recorded for the Idea album, whose songs were completed on 20 June. One account says its melody was heard aboard a British Airways Vickers Viscount about a hundred miles from Essen. The song also marks a change in the band’s lineup. It is the last Bee Gees single to feature Vince Melouney’s guitar work, and he left the band in early December after it was released as a single.
